i thought i had some amazing new post today. like lots of good stories or witty little anecdotes about how this new little blog has been so exciting for me to work on, think about, plan...

however, all i can think about are these randoms little tidbits...

*my first blog giveaway ever. details at bottom, but in a nut shell you leave a comment on this blog and i will enter you into the drawing for the sweet gift.

* i want the font on my brand spankin' new header to be easier to read and if i knew how i originally managed the 'vintagey' effect in photoshop, i would go back and reverse it. however, i kinda suck at photoshop and learning how not to suck at photoshop now tops my permanent to do list:)

* am i weird? instead of chopping the spinach, onions, and green peppers to toss into my super healthy salmon thingies, i chopped it in the living room with my cutting board on laying across my lap...my eyes glued to the 82nd annual academy awards show. dude, seriously i almost chopped a few fingers off. seriously.

{I realize these photos don't really go with what i am saying, but they are colorful and truly make me happy to see my two little ones being creative and getting along, but mostly, i love when they create little works of art. peyton and beckham art.}

this is the first year kelle and i haven't dressed up and picked our fave outfits and movies. but ya know, it's all about the clothes.

the awards pre-show. who is wearing what. is it new, vintage, borrowed?

my husband sat down to watch it for a minute and after about 3 red carpet interviews, he stood up, looked at me in disbelief and said, "they don't even talk about the movies, their first question is, who are you wearing?"

* i love spring. i want to grow a huge herb garden with some carrots and tomatoes too. and i want wildflowers to grow around my house. maybe a bird bath would fit nicely...i love ivy, i wonder if i planted it, it would cover my house? would i like it? should it try it?

yes, my mind tends to go places. it's just to easy to do things these days, not to mention the weather is ROCKING my world. it has been paradise the last few days.

everything is so available to us. it's an amazing blessing and at the same time, an overwhelming weight of pressure to do it all, do it well, and look good doing it.

today, i was out looking to prepare for my spring mini shoot sessions. the colors and pastel candy and HUGE golden and chocolate bunnies and eggs. it was to much. it was blissful. it was...a lot of money on little easter basket treats and toys for my little ones.

okay, my first real post on my new kaleidoscope blog! this is exciting! first off, i wanted the name to reflect who i am or what i write about. when jenn came up with this name...i loved it right away. i knew i wanted something that combined my writing style/topics with who i am or at least who i perceive myself to be in this never ending quest to find/renew/better/know who i am/what i want to be.

after all, i really write this here for my babies. i want them to know me as i was. what i liked to eat, read. what i hate. love. dream about. my passions about the creative world. you get it.

anyway, the definition of kaleidoscope is an optical toy of sorts. however, that is not the definition i am using. i am using #2 in webster's dictionary: any complex pattern of frequently changing patterns or colors.

i figure it's like life. constantly changing it's colors and patterns. no one day seems to be identical anyway. so there you have it.

a few other things...

i love that p&b find coconuts in the yard, bring them in, daddy cracks them, and they chomp away on the nutty white stuff!

i love this girl and her love affair with marshmallows.

...and i love her silly side!

guess who the next...

is?

our very own beckham starts his first real sport's team in a week! he is so excited that he wears this soccer ensemble throughout most days and it is precious!

proud of our little guy.

on another note, but i'll make it fast bc i did not intend to make this post as long and drawn out as it appears to be.

i wanted to say thank you for all the kind comments, emails, voice mails, facebook messages i have received over the past couple of years.

i LOVE hearing from you and you can never know how much it means to me when you say kind words about my babies, work, writing,...

many messages bring me to tears as i never really knew how the little things i share through this diary have touched a small number of people out there in cyber world. even to the people i have never met...who take the time to send me a note---it's amazing and i feel blessed. wish i could send everyone a gift.

from the bottom my heart, thank you.

with that...leave a comment on this post and i will enter you to win a necklace similar to this one, meaning i have spoken to the etsy shop owner and she said she will customize this necklace to as many eggs as you need as well as color preference (silver, blue, pink). you can see more examples at Betty's Love

i searched and searched and searched for the perfect necklace and i couldn't find one i liked more than the one kelle found and fell in love with on etsy. she has it and loves it and it is so beautiful and dainty and i felt it was perfect for this time of year.

Love the new blog! it was worth the wait. i really like the vintagey look of the header.

you picked the best so i'll pick the um more questionable.nicole richiemolly ringwaldzoe saldana - i thought when she walked out on stage if she pulled her dress up any higher we would see her goodies.charlize theron - what happened?

oh and NPH - so shoulda been the host.

can't wait to see the results of your mini shoot! beckham looks like a soccer pro already - the other beckham better watch out!
